#n=6#

Explanation:

Our main objective is to separate the n from the rest of the numbers. There's two ways to do this, first way is:

  1. Distribute 4 into the parenthesis to get #4n+40=64#. Then subtract both sides by #40# to get #4n=24#. Lastly divide both sides by #4# to get #n=6#.
  2. Another way to do this is by straightly dividing #4# on both sides. You then get #n+10=16#. You then could subtract 10 on both sides to get #n=6# which nets the same results.
